If you are in a hurry a quick goid look at a safari.

Fantastic experience, just 3 hrs drive from Joburg. Good communication, smooth transfer at the park. Fifi our guide was excellent! Kept the spirits up and tracked animals all over the park, saw elephants, lion, leopards, giraffes, zebras and a few other animals & birds. Worth the travel and the money.

100% satisfied

We had a brilliant game drive. There was a small misunderstanding at pickup, but communication with the office was excellent and the driver (Thsiamo) apologized upon arrival. After that, it was an extraordinary experience. Thsiamo managed to show us 2 more of the Big 5 that we couldn't see on the previous 4 drives due to the weather. With the leopard, he was in the right place at exactly the right time. He took very good care of us. Had great knowledge and gave everything to make our last game drive unforgettable. And he succeeded 100%. The best thing about this provider: at the end you are taken back to the hotel in a warm bus and don't have to freeze in the open jeep! Unreserved recommendation!!!!

A wonderful experience!

A wonderful experience! Everything was well organized, and I highly recommend it. Triminate, one of the game drivers, is an excellent guide, always positive, with a lot of experience and great intuition. He did an excellent job and made the experience truly memorable.

Amazing experience

We had the best time on our safari, mostly thanks to Petros. He’s an incredible driver and went all out to make sure we saw everything. The guy’s knowledge is unreal, he literally knows everything about the animals.The highlight was definitely the lions. Petros kept checking the radio and driving back to where they were reported. Thanks to him, we ended up seeing them just two meters away!Seriously, if you do a safari, ask for Petros. He’s the best
